- Cosmetic Procedures: The laser is also used for various cosmetic treatments, including gum contouring and teeth whitening, among others.
Overall, the Biolase laser enhances comfort and effectiveness in dental procedures, making treatments quicker and more pleasant for patients.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry using the Biolase laser offers numerous advantages. Here are some of the most notable benefits:
- Enhanced Patient Comfort: Laser procedures are typically much more comfortable than traditional dental treatments, minimizing discomfort for patients.
- Precision Treatment: Lasers are highly precise, allowing for targeted treatments that affect only the necessary areas while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
- Minimal Bleeding: Lasers cauterize tissue as they work, resulting in very little bleeding. This often eliminates the need for sutures and contributes to faster healing.
- Reduced Infection Risk: Lasers are effective at killing bacteria, significantly lowering the chances of infection following a procedure. While traditional instruments also carry a low infection risk, it is even lower with laser-based treatments.
